If 90% of students have a good experience but the 10% of students have a similar experiences to the poster there, then I still think Lambda is another ethical disaster of a start-up.

"It's better than a typical USA student loan" is a very low bar.

But that the literal alternative, so feels pretty fair to compare.

Not with learning programming.

You can simply self-teach.

A bootcamp isn't a CS degree.

Between smarts, motivation, and time most people cannot "simply self-teach". There's a reason education is such a massive industry, and entire professions exist around it.

I'm refuting the notion that your only choices are college degrees or bootcamps.

There are absolutely other choices. But those choices won't work for the vast majority of people.

There are also other careers with which you can make a good living.

Not everything can be for everybody.
